In reply to the discussion: I am done giving money to the national Democratic Party. [View all]Lifelong Protester
(8,421 posts)62. Wow! At least one poster here
is helping me put my piddly $50 donations into perspective-they don't mean squat I guess. I never get to chat or have coffee with any candidates because I can't 'pony up' real money, I guess. I did share some corn on the cob with my Congress Critter once, and did host our Democratic Senator (he's running again and WILL win) at my B & B, but I don't have $10,000 to spare for him, so I should just not bother?

Aren't these the same folks who allege they want to get the money out of politics?
